Blog Action Day Arrives

Just in case you haven't heard yet, today is Blog Action Day. This day was designed to spread the word about climate change and it's devastating effects. If you would like to participate click here to visit their website.

If you have been following this blog you know that there is already overwhelming evidence that climate change is being caused by humans, yet no real action is taken here in the states on a federal level. I only hope that our next president will have a little more going on upstairs instead of change jiggling in his pocket from his oil company kickbacks...

With more and more people getting behind this movement maybe we can actually make a change before George W. Bush is out of office, but the way our government moves like a snail I kinda doubt anything will be done... sad really, but who know maybe I will be pleasantly surprised and our planet won't be doomed, but as more and more time passes I fear we have already passed the tipping point.

Unfortunately this will act as a snowball effect, as the permafrost melts, not only is it destabilizing all the land around it, it is also releasing methane and other greenhouse gases that have been trapped in the ground.

The European Union's View On Climate Change

Sad to see nations doing so much to combat climate change and then to gaze on The United States and see one of the few countries that did not sign the Kyoto Protocol. The United States also has some of the worst fuel efficiency standards in the world! We are certainly not setting a very good example for the rest of the world, but climate change will never effect Americans right? Go ahead switch the station, but climate change isn't going anywhere and is only going to get worse if immediate action isn't taken in ever nation...
